Our Connection to the Science Community

Much of food fraud is through admixture of components that should not be present. For example adding peanut to almond butter, or in a classical example adding horse meat to beef. Being able to screen for both identity and purity is what Genome2-ID does best. As an example, the graph below shows admixture of almond

The routine testing of natural products for industry requires that those who do the testing can be trusted. The question then is what form does that take? How does one judge whether a company or process can be trusted? In part, when we use genetics, that trust comes from being transparent with the materials used

We look forward to sharing the latest in research, news and technology with the food science and natural products community. For example, our co-authorship using the latest genetic analysis methods for the sourcing of wood products. Alignment-free genome comparison allows for unambiguous sourcing of wood products, see here: https://rdcu.be/bdbTG. We are committed to developing genetic
